A word from Emma, the 'Mystique' costume creator:

I'm wearing my costume. I wanted to be Mystique from Xmen. I bought a blue unitard and cut it to fit me. I puff painted it and my face and body to make the scales. I used three different face and body paints to get the correct coloring and to stop peeling. I am wearing blue heels and blue nail polish. I slicked my hair back and dyed it red.
